chirping rineharts

hello guys.i need some input on wether or not my rineharts are supposed to be chirping at all.when i give it gas at a certain rpm when the pipes are hot i hear a shril chirping from one or both,i can't tell for sure. it's annoying and tacky sounding.this is my first harley and i'm not sure if they all sound like this or not.my buddy has a set of se 2's and his chirp's like mad also.my pipes only have 850 miles on them and i believe they started chirping or you could call it shril whistling at around 50 miles.is it baffle problems or what?thanks in advance.

I've got a set of Rinehart True Duals with the standard baffles and no "chirping" or whistling that I've heard...

I did notice a rattle very tinny sounding coming from mine (only on one side) I removed the end cap and the baffle had come loose so I turned it slightly and tightened the screws back up and no problem since.

I also have the true duals Rinehart's and have no shrill sound but my buddies all say they hit a VERY piercing decible level when I crack it open. I personally love the **** out of the sound but to each his own.......

RE: chirping rineharts

I'm glad someone posted this because my wife said that she heard what seemed like chirping this weekend coming from my rineharts. I'm not that mechanically inclined so if someone can give me some good instructions of how to tighten the baffles and take the end cap off and all. It would be very greatly appreciated.
